CHAPTER 17 Discovery
It is now May 1780……………………….
The massive mansion at Surrey Hills had been built upon a slight hill. The slight rise to the ground gave the house a strategic vantage point of the surrounding area. A watch tower cupola had been built upon the roof, with the entry way to this through the attic just above the third floor of the large main house. This afforded the English army a tremendous view of the plantation and the countryside extending beyond it.
Major Bordon had just received his new long glass last of which having been broken during a recent skirmish. This particular scope was newer and more powerful than the old one. Wanting to try it out, he went up to the lookout tower atop the house.
He enjoyed the height of the tower and liked taking in the view of the land. He surveyed different points of the landscape. While looking at part of the estate’s perimeter, he saw something that quickly got his attention.
Near the border fence row on a secluded part of the estate, he spied Tess talking with Colonel Tavington. He wondered why they were so far away from the house, almost off the plantation. He put the glass down, thinking nothing of it. He didn’t worry so much for he knew that Tavington would protect Tess if anything should happen down there.
He started to leave, but something stopped him. Bordon stepped back up in the cupola and took another look through the telescope. Tavington and Tess were seated upon the wooden rail fence, talking with each other. They talked and smiled very easily with one another which had been normal as of late as Geoffrey observed. The major had a feeling of uneasiness about their exchange. He decided to watch them for a moment, holding the glass to his eye.
As he watched silently, he saw the two of them get up from the fence and step away from it. Tavington said something that made Tess laugh and smile. She took a step away from him, then turned back to him. He began to laugh and grin. They were shaking their heads at each other and acting in a flirtatious manner. Bordon stood there for a moment; wondering what they had said.
As he continued to watch them, he saw the Colonel lean down a little toward Tess. She brushed something off his uniform, then out of his hair. He smiled at her again. Then, she stepped closer to the officer. Tessa reached up and played with Tav’s cravat. She was a little too close to him now for Bordon. He sighed.
Bordon breathed a sigh of relief when his daughter stepped back away from the Colonel. She looked back and said something to him, then started to walk away. Now, all Bordon had to do was come up with a way to confront her about her true relationship with the Colonel, without disclosing that he spied on them.
Just as the Major was about to lower the scope, he saw something that surprised him. Colonel Tavington followed Miss Bordon and caught up to her. He then took her hand in his. He watched the couple as they walked along, hand in hand. Geoffrey began to get angry.
Next, he watched, as the two of them stopped and turned toward one another. Bordon relaxed again momentarily as Tess and Tavington dropped hands. He felt even better when he saw her walk away from him again.
He looked on intently as his daughter stopped in her tracks. Her back was to the commander. He saw the officer say something and Tess look back over her shoulder at him.
The next moment, he watched as Tavington padded up behind his daughter and brought his body against hers. He then slipped his arms around her. Her head dropped backwards on to his chest. Bordon became very upset when he saw this thinking Tavington was trying to seduce her.
He next saw his daughter turn to face Tavington. Her hand went up to stroke the man’s face. Colonel Tavington pulled her body against his. He dipped his face and began to kiss her.
Bordon was absolutely stunned! What were they doing? The seduction was so quick and a little too easy. The second in command became livid when he saw Tavington’s hands roaming freely over the back of his daughter’s body, with one hand caressing her bottom. He watched in a rage as the two nuzzled each other’s necks and ears, kissing and acting so sensually and with ease.
Then, he watched as the Colonel took her hands and brought them to his mouth, where he kissed them. Bordon felt sick when he spied them lingering in another long and passionate kiss. He had no relief this time, however, as he saw them bid farewell, separate, and walk away from each other in opposite directions.
Major Bordon slammed the long glass closed and shoved it into his pocket. The officer put his hands on the railing of the tower, now seething inside. He was positively furious at both of them, but exceptionally so at his daughter.
His blood boiled as he realized that Tavington had not just seduced her, but that she had already been with him. They were seeing each other behind his back!
Tess had lied to him about the nature of her relationship with the Colonel. She had said that they were just friends and that she talked politely and socially with him. She had also defied her father. He had told her that a soldier was not a proper suitor for her and that he would choose one. Bordon would not have chosen Tavington.
The Major was enraged at the situation when he finally left the watchtower. He climbed down and went to their suite to wait. He was going to speak with her about this immediately!
